Waiting for Florida to ban the sun from hitting solar panels, only allowed to harm eyes & skin.

It sure made them stop saying how sad they were

I was aware of the magnetic treatments, was not aware that this would be similar, article makes it read like it would rely on destruction, so I am glad that this is different. I will have to rely on studies for long term exposure to less than destructive amplitudes, but ultrasonics do weird things to liquids

Was wondering why my utilities bill is so cheap....

I’m sure when we lived as hunter gatherers that depression was just as rampant lol

Israeli headline: “Women in Gaza being taught at young age to throw bombs”

Ive been proselytizing the use of sound/waves in medical treatment for years. It is the future.

to be fair they tried it before that and after that and in fact you gotta wonder why they kept trying after the first victim

They're different types of focused ultrasound! Or rather, involve different parameters/protocols.

High-intensity ultrasound is what is being used for neurosurgery. Low-intensity ultrasound is what's being used for treating disorders like depression.

Low-intensity ultrasound doesn't destroy any part of the brain. It merely inhibits them temporarily. This is more similar to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which is currently being used to treat depression, or to Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) which also shows promise.

The benefit of ultrasound is that it can target much deeper sites in the brain and with higher precision than TMS, which leads to new possible treatments. This is all still in the very early stages though.

Definitely, in the long-term, but in the mean time loads of people are suffering right now. It doesn't make sense to let real people right now suffer and die in the name of fighting for a better system.

Lack of reading comprehension or do you not understand how a Scalpel works?

I agree with you. Even in recent decades when aspect of society weren’t very different depression levels were lower than today. It’s a massive conglomeration of things that is really difficult to point to any one aspect. One thing I think about in relation to the rise of mental disorders is all of the environmental pollutants from chemical usage in a variety of products. There’s so many dangerous pollutants we know of, but yet still many more we don’t have a great understanding of but still pump out in high quantities. But, trying to change society is difficult and this could help many people.

In my mind the idea is simply to move away from coal, oil and gas as our primary sources of energy and materials. They don't need to go away completely as long as we develop enough methods and means to offset their use and start undoing the damage we've already done.

A surgery that does not "produce any blood." Congratulations, this achievement goes to: every surgery!

Nailed it!

I think it was a joke about the movie "Cool running"

Go ladies! Stuff like that will help not only with self esteem but will help to lead way showing women in Middle East that they can be more than just marriage object

didn't say depression is... i said 'depression epidemic'.

Depression is not "new".

It existed for as long as humanity, people were just sent to insane asylums or the local priest.

It's a competition, what does it matter, a country wins anyway, what's uplifting about a specific one winning it?

Also I'm Israeli I've nothing to do with Jamaica

Depression epidemic is a relatively new phenomenon introduced by modern society. maybe we should rethink society instead of altering our brain to fit into a broken system.
